🏞️ Nestled in Nantou County, the Wushe Incident Memorial Park preserves the story of a brave uprising that took place in October 1930. It reminds us of the Seediq community's struggle against Japanese colonial rule and their leader, Mona Rudao.
In 1930, indigenous Seediq people in the Wushe area rose up to defend their homeland in an event known as the Wushe Incident. The Japanese colonial authorities responded with overwhelming force, leading to a tragic loss of life.
Today, the memorial park features statues, tombs, and monuments dedicated to those who fought. Visitors can explore the site's paths, learn about Seediq culture, and reflect on a story that inspired the film "Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale" 🎥.
More than just a historical landmark, the park symbolizes the unyielding spirit of resistance that still resonates across the Taiwan region. It offers a moving experience for history buffs, travelers, and anyone curious about the power of collective courage 💪.
